UNITED STATES PATENT FFICJE,

JANE A. SHATTUOK, OF UTICA, NEW YORK.

HAIR-TONIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 277,165, dated May 8, 1883.

Application filed November 25, 1882. (No specimens.)

To all whom may concern Be it known that I, JANE A. SHATTUGK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a new and useful composition of matter to be used as a hair restorative, to promote the growth of hair and prevent its falling out, also to prevent its becoming gray, and to beautify the hair in general, of which the following is a specification.

The principal part of my composition consists of the following ingredients, in the proportions stated: bay-rum,thirty parts; glycerine, twenty four parts; petroleum, thirty seven parts; borax, four parts; oil of bergamot, five parts. One hundred parts in all. I preferably use refined petroleum, although crude petroleum, kerosene, or what is termed foots, couldprobably be used (to substitute the refined petroleum) with good results. In order that the above composition of matter may not be offensive to the smell, I mix there with a sufficient quantity of oil of bergamot toremove the odor of the petroleum.

By the use of my composition gray hair is speedily,thoroughly, and permanently restored to its original color, and where the hair has entirely disappeared from' the head a new growth of hair is established, and in a few months will be strong and similar to the original growth. When applied to the hair of a child or young person it produces a most charm ing result, making the hair both glossy and fine in appearance, whilewithout the use of my composition the same hair would appear heavy and dead.

The directions for using my composition are simply to shake the bottle well and apply the composition about three times per week;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, isv 'The herein-described composition of matter to be used for restoring and beautifying the hair, consisting of bay-rum, glycerine, petroleum,'borax, and oil of bergamot, in the proportions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing specification I have hereunto set my hand this 17th day of November, 1882.

- JANE A. SHATTUUK.
